Bill: I know this is an old thread, but i am just now seeing it. Did you ever figure out what was causing this? I have a 2006 XLR-V that I got about 3 years ago. About a year ago I put K&N filters in it. (I love them & put them in every vehicle I own, but for some reason didn't do it immediately with the XLR like i usually do) After replacing the filters i noticed that the car did not decelerate as "aggressively" when I let off of the gas while driving it harder, & that it returned to idle slower when driving it more mellow. I assumed that because the engine is getting more air flow, the ECM is sending more fuel which is causing this condition. I've been kind of torn on whether to change back to the stock filters or not. I can tell there is an increase in power with the K&N filters, but the car definitely feels more aggressive with the stock filters & then of course there is the issue of the slower return to idle... Now I just want to make sure that there might not be some other issue that coincidentally showed up at the same time as my filter swap. |

Look this is going to sound funny to you but if it were me I would check the air cleaner to be sure it is flowing air properly and if in doubt get a new one. A clogged air cleaner will cause the car to idle up also there are some sensors on the air intake that do malfunction and may not "throw a code" so checking them is prudent as well. Failing all of this I suggest you call D3 performance (562) 216-8919. http://www.d3cadillac.com Tell them I sent you. They are on top of all of the idle problem anomolies because the they do performance kits for the XLR and the XLR-V. They may have some ideas that will resolve your issue. Please keep us informed.

These diagnostics are printable so ask for your own personal copy. Please let us know how this comes out for you. (BTW I am betting on a IAC module) Regards |

Has any one experienced a hesitiation about 1500 RPM when decellerating.

As soon as the speed (speed signal) goes to 0 the idle drops to 800 or so. Something is reading the 0 speed signal and dropping the idle. I have thoroughly cleaned the throttle body (that's another story) and checked for vacumn leaks with none found. The local dealer said this is normal on supercharged cars but I don't buy it! There may be some slight compensation for the additional air volume when the throttle first closes but but I don't think it should "high idle" all the way down to 0 MPH. Its definately effecting Gas mileage, brake wear and It could be considered a safety issue as simply llifting off the throttle does not generate anywhere near the engine braking effect that you would expect. 2/ It is possible for a failing throttle controller unit to start to fail but not necessarily set a fault code, or it could set an obscure fault code.

Check your service ticket and see if there is a notation by the mechanic regarding the Tech2 analysis outcome. 100% free webcam site! | Awesome chicks and it is absolutely free! | Watch free live sex cam - easy as 1-2-3 |

CC I brought it in for the idle issue and a nonfunctioning exhaust sound baffel(it was stuck on LOUD). The service advisor said the tech didn't find any codes and test drove it and found it "normal" for supercharged cars. I believe that he had to hook up Tech2 to get the diagnosis for a faulty solenoid so there probably were no codes present. LIST: You're right I'll need a Tech2 to access these readings. |

Has your dealer run diagnostics with a Tech 2? CC ![]() |

Thanks That's where I'm going to start...I've ordered the repair manuals but they haven't arrived. Do you know if there is any kind of Auxiliary air supply valve where it might be located? Thanks, Bill |
